Lots of of combinator logic in this one! Sushi belt buses everything in and out of the hub, including fusion fuel cells and fluoroketone cold barrels. Many features see on board display panels and quick startup logistic menu. This was super fun to design and test!
Features auto mall, quality upcycling, spoilage disposal and more! Blueprint coming soon!
Crafts all Foundry and Cryo Plant intermediates aside from Aquilo and Fulgora exclusives, also crafts RGB circuits and copper cables. Upgrade planner friendly! Drop this in your factory and never run out of raw mats again!
Crafts most Logistic and Production items. Combinators can be configured further to your factory needs. Each storage chest is filtered to the preset specific items crafted.
Had requests from people asking me to make a book for DWM focused starter builds. I think I am satisfied with it for now, everything is normal quality and production is nothing spectacular, however it is also cost efficient for electricity and resources and very low on pollution for Nauvis and Gleba, in addition to being compact. Also included are simple rail network and mining outposts blueprints.
Will eventually update with a promethium science platform, but that is going to take a very long time for my tech research to be ready for. Going to be fun engineering a no quality promethium platform!
Weight 2050 Tons. Max Speed 400 km/s, max belt capacity for [item=promethium-asteroid-chunk] 54K+. Preset to process 70K [item=biter-egg] to 210K+ [item=promethium-science-pack]. Recommended at least 60 [entity=biter-spawner,quality=legendary] and minimum level 23 for Physical, Explosive and Laser Damage, level 7 for Railgun Damage and Shooting Speed. Many features see on board display panels and menus.
Full Platform weighs 2050 Tons and has a belt capacity of 54K+ for Promethium Asteroid Chunks
Asteroid Reprocessing is not required due to high productivity levels and smart looping of asteroids
No Quality and has been very smooth for planetfall. Several machines switch recipes as needed.
It took some work, but the platform, which I call the Covenant, is now tested and working for Space Age 2.1. Specs:
Weight 2050 Tons. Max Speed 400 km/s, max belt capacity for [item=promethium-asteroid-chunk] 54K+. Preset to process 70K [item=biter-egg] to 210K+ [item=promethium-science-pack]. Recommended at least 60 [entity=biter-spawner,quality=legendary] and minimum level 23 for Physical, Explosive and Laser Damage, level 7 for Railgun Damage and Shooting Speed. Many features see on board display panels and menus. Fusion fuel cells are manually inserted when the speaker alerts.
Needs some more testing in terms of how many biolabs each new cargo unloader can sustain, I think it is 32? BP will be posted once fully tested. Bot traffic has gone way down which means UPS is going up!
New circuit logic might open up some things!
The new unloaders open up a world of possibilities!
Eventually I want to mirror it for tileable Biolabs on both sides. Trying to keep things UPS friendly. Open to suggestions!

Pistol:
Adventure Force Brute with extra mags
Expansion should be simple from here forward, theory being. Fluorine train may be needed soon however!
Trying to keep it compact and produce most intermediates. From here I plan to expand the factory north and south. The outposts are also compact and supplied from the cargo trains.
I see many who never use them, some even refrain from using them and hate on them. But me, I love them. Not so much because they save electricity, or reduce pollution, or reduce nutrient costs. All of which are great of course.
The main reason I like them is for balance. For example, I split most beacons between one speed and one efficiency module. This way rather than expanding and building more, when I need more production I just add another speed module. This works especially well when multiple beacons and quality become involved.
Another good example is Vulcanus, where electricity demand can get very high. With my current setup I cap out at about 1.4 GW, and most all of my silos, foundries and EM plants run at or near the electrical limit. Without the efficiency modules, I estimate that over 5 GW would be used. That is a pretty big difference. Of course there is no energy issues that fusion cannot solve, however when it comes to keeping things compact therein is another benefit of efficiency modules.
Lets see your praise or hate for them!
I can see where this one is going, far far west...
Nets a whopping 6 SPM!
